This was my 27th protest in the past 3+ years and heard more cars honking than at any other protest! Only about 35 people were there but the location was perfect...heavy duty intersection at rush hour and the horns honked and honked for over an hour!

My friend was thrilled because she was interviewed and photographed for the first time. She attended about 6 or 7 other protests with me and she felt energized. That is the word I would use to describe the atmosphere...energized!

I am watching Rachel Maddow now and she is showing a lot of the protests across the country tonight. It really did come together quickly.
